   She, an ordinary girl, became a heartthrob, pursued by multiple men. What would she do if she knew about this cutthroat competition? She desperately wanted someone to give her advice: should she keep her crush a secret or confess? What if she was rejected? She confessed, only to be cruelly rejected. It seems unrequited love is best kept hidden forever, at least avoiding the pain of rejection. Living in a fantasy, pretending to be happy, loving him is a wonderful thing. Her bittersweet feelings were indescribable, yet six of his best friends confessed to her one after another. She didn't know what was happening. Who should she accept? Still grieving the rejection, she went on a trip with seven male classmates, including him. She didn't expect him to come. During a truth-or-dare game, when asked who he liked and if anyone was present, he said yes. Her heart skipped a beat—who would be so lucky? She was still being pursued, too afraid to reveal her feelings. Finally, all seven confronted each other, demanding recognition. Who should she give her recognition to? Should it be given to the guy she has a crush on, or to one of his six best friends?
